Texas faces an increasingly severe measles outbreak with over 130 cases and one child fatality amid declining vaccination rates.

We have measles outbreaks every year," Trump's health secretary said when asked about the death, which is the nation's first in a decade.

A child in West Texas has died of measles, state health officials said on Wednesday, the first reported U.S. death from the highly contagious disease in a decade, as a Texas outbreak has grown from a handful of cases to more than 130 across two states.
