(NEXSTAR) – A total of 800 measles cases across two dozen states have been confirmed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
As new cases pop up every week, at least 10 official outbreaks have occurred, according to the CDC. An outbreak is defined as three or more cases of measles that are related.
The largest known outbreak is in West Texas, where the case count nears 600, according to local health officials.
