USA Today As the measles outbreak continues to spread in Texas, cases have been reported in New Jersey as well as a second case in New York City.
The New York City Department of Health said that one additional case of measles has been reported in New York City.
“As a pediatrician and the State’s doctor, I want to remind everyone that immunization is safe and the best protection for your children against measles and other potentially deadly diseases,” State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said in a press release.
A first case was reported in New York City earlier this year, but acting commissioner of the New York City Health Department Dr. Michelle Morse told USA TODAY in a statement that the two reported cases are unrelated.
