A child who wasn't vaccinated died in a measles outbreak in rural West Texas, officials there said Wednesday, the first US death from the highly contagious respiratory disease since 2015. The school-aged child had been hospitalized and died Tuesday night, state officials said, amid the widespread outbreak, Texas' largest in nearly 30 years. Since it began last month, a rash of 124 cases has erupted across nine counties.
