Measles outbreak in North Dakota prompts local health officials to quarantine unvaccinated schoolchildren
- North Dakota reported a measles outbreak with nine cases in 2025, prompting quarantine of about 180 unvaccinated students at home.
- The outbreak is part of a larger resurgence in the U.S. Driven by undervaccinated communities, particularly a tight-knit Mennonite group in Texas's Gaines County.
- Texas, the epicenter, has 709 confirmed cases across 29 counties, mostly in West Texas, with clusters also in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and other states.
- During this outbreak, three unvaccinated people have died from measles complications: two elementary school-aged kids in Texas and an adult in New Mexico.
- The outbreak reveals declining U.S. Vaccination rates and raises concerns that measles will continue to spread without improved immunization efforts.
