A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

The Texas Department of State Health Services said Wednesday in a statement that the death was a “school-aged child who was not vaccinated” and had been hospitalized last week.

Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.

There are 124 cases of measles across nine Texas counties.
