The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed it is on the ground in Texas on Tuesday to respond to an outbreak of measles that has grown to nearly 160 cases as U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the agency is seeing “very good” results.
In a post on social media platform X, the CDC said it is working with the Texas Department of Health as part of a “rapid response” effort to “tackle urgent public health issues like disease outbreaks,” which will allow the agency to provide its expertise to local officials.
