Prioritize robust vaccination campaign to control measles outbreak

The recent local measles case in Austin and ongoing outbreak across Texas underscore that measles remains a nationwide and global threat. Prompt action at all levels of government, founded on scientific evidence, is imperative to control the spread of this highly contagious disease through proven public health interventions like widespread vaccination. As representatives, we must respond decisively to this preventable crisis by implementing rigorous, evidence-based measures to safeguard communities, prioritizing robust vaccination programs that uphold the sanctity of life for all, especially vulnerable populations. The stakes extend far beyond state borders, necessitating a coordinated, science-driven response at the national and international levels.
