The individual visited multiple locations on the day of exposure, including UTSA’s campus and attractions along the Riverwalk, potentially exposing dozens of people. Symptoms of measles include high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and rash. Mayor Ron Nirenberg emphasized the importance of vaccinations, urging the community to stay updated on MMR vaccines. Texas is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in 30 years, with 90 reported cases, linked to declining vaccination rates, underscoring the importance of maintaining a 95% vaccination rate.
