**Measles Cases Surface in Williamson County, Sparking Vaccination Concerns**

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas — Health officials are urging residents to check their vaccination status after multiple measles cases have been reported in Williamson County. While the county currently reports two lab-confirmed cases, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) indicates there may be as many as six cases in the area.

The first confirmed case involved a child attending Bar W. Elementary School in Leander. The child was reportedly contagious for a period in mid-May. The second confirmed case is an unvaccinated adult, also from Leander.

While state data suggests 6 cases linked to the initial cases in Williamson County, the county is only reporting lab-confirmed positive cases.

“WCCHD has no other information to share on the two positive lab-confirmed or any other measles cases at this time, the spokesperson said.”

These cases are not connected to the large-scale measles outbreak in West Texas, which has affected over 700 people. Hays and Travis counties have also reported single and double cases, respectively.

Dr. Goddy Corpuz of Baylor Scott & White Clinic in Cedar Park reports an increase in calls from concerned residents inquiring about vaccinations. He stresses the importance of vaccination, especially for those with incomplete immunization records and for those planning to travel this summer. “We’re expecting more cases,” Dr. Corpuz said. “But, … our focus is on staying alert and making sure everyone’s protected, and if you haven’t gotten vaccinated, please get vaccinated.”

Measles symptoms include fever, diarrhea, cough, red eyes, and body aches. Those most at risk include infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Health officials recommend getting vaccinated at least two weeks before any planned travel.
