Summary

Newborns at University Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, were exposed to measles after an infected woman gave birth.

Hospital staff are administering immunoglobulin injections to protect infants, though long-term immunity requires vaccination.

Public health officials fear this exposure could worsen the ongoing outbreak, which has spread from Texas and New Mexico into Oklahoma. Texas has reported 259 cases, with one confirmed child death.

Officials continue tracing contacts to contain the virus, which can linger in the air or on surfaces for up to two hours.

If my newborn baby was exposed to measles I would honestly find that infected woman in the hospital and kill her. The mom didn't get vaccinated even though the BEG adults to get vaccinated (if you are planning to become pregnant beg you to get vaccinated pre conception).
