The outbreak of measles is spreading to more states across the United States, with Kentucky and Washington reporting their first cases. Texas has seen the most infections thus far, as well as the death of a 6-year-old child.

King County has recorded Washington state's first measles case of the year. Measles is extremely contagious for those who aren't vaccinated.

One of the latest cases was reported in Washington State where officials say an infant may have been exposed during recent international travel.

The child was unvaccinated and had been hospitalized in Lubbock, Texas, said Lauren Adams, Lubbock city spokesperson. This is the first US measles death since 2015, when a woman in Washington state died.

Measles cases are popping up across the United States, including an outbreak in Texas that has led to the death of a child.

On Wednesday, the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSH) said an unvaccinated child had died from measles as the state battles its worse outbreak of the disease in 30 ye

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has described the outbreak in West Texas last week as a “top priority.” But he has not explicitly encouraged Americans to get vaccinated.

Public health experts said that although it’s true we have measles cases in the U.S. every year, the latest outbreak is concerning.

Robert F. Kennedy, in his first comments on measles as the new Trump health secretary, says the outbreak is not unusual. 'We have measles outbreaks every year.'

The health secretary has long pushed misinformation about vaccines and played down an outbreak in Texas that has led to the death of a child.
