There was a widespread warning on Monday for kids to get vaccinated against measles after a child in Texas died last week from the illness — the first in the U.S. since 2015. Numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show weekly cases of measles spiking nationwide in 2025 compared with the last couple of years.

Massachusetts has not received any reports of recent measles cases, as outbreaks spread across the country and after an unvaccinated child died.
