As the deadly measles outbreak in West Texas has continued to grow, parents have reportedly been racing to get their kids vaccinated.
New data from the Electronic Health Record data analysis company Truveta has documented the surge, finding that the percentage of six-month-old children in Texas who got their shots in April increased by more than 30 times over last year’s average. For 10-month-olds, the percentage increased by more than 10 times. The preliminary research findings have not been peer-reviewed.
