Texas, including the capital city, was especially hard-hit by a wave fentanyl-related deaths in the past few years. But with the help of overdose-reversing drugs, things are looking better.

While the Austin area has confirmed a case of measles, there is not an outbreak. That said, here's a guide to how and when to get vaccinated for measles.

An unvaccinated infant was exposed to the virus while vacationing with family overseas, Austin Public Health said.

Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the West Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.

Austin ISD's measles immunization rate for its kindergarten class is lower than that of neighboring school districts.

The first death in relation to the ongoing measles outbreak in West Texas has been confirmed by local and state health officials. The patient was a school-aged child, hospitalized in Lubbock last week.

The outbreak is primarily affecting West Texas, but officials in San Antonio, New Braunfels and San Marcos are monitoring cases after an infected person recently visited the area, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Someone who has since tested positive for measles was in San Marcos in the afternoon and evening of Friday, Feb. 14. Symptoms can take several days to weeks to appear.

Public health experts attribute the current outbreak to declining vaccination levels.

The windchill has brought the coldest weather of the season with temperatures feeling like 10 degrees or lower in the Austin area.
