Texas is the epicenter of the current measles outbreak in the country.
Researchers have warned that the US is at a tipping point for the return of endemic measles, a quarter century after the disease was declared eradicated in the country.
The outbreak in Texas, which has led to the deaths of two children and hundreds more being infected, is centered in a Mennonite community and has spread to neighboring states including New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.
