Most of the cases across both states are in people younger than 18 and those who are unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status.

Last week, a school-age child died of measles in Texas, the nation's first measles death in a decade. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that it was sending a team to Texas to help local public health officials respond to the outbreak.
