The number of measles cases linked to an outbreak in West Texas has grown to 58, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

At least 58 cases have been confirmed. Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people may be infected.

Seminole’s Mennonite community generally take religious exemptions from vaccinations. This has left them, and especially the children, vulnerable to the disease.
