200 Cases of Mumps Confirmed in Texas Migrant Detention Centers
Officials with the Texas Department of State Health Services stated
that 186 people in migrant detention centers located in Texas had
confirmed cases of mumps. The cases impacted migrant adults and minors
as well as detention center workers, the Texas Tribune reported.
There have been “no reported transmission (of mumps) to the
community,” State Health Services Spokeswoman Lara Anton told the news
outlet. She said the state health agency is not aware of the vaccination
status of migrant adults and children who enter the United States.
However, “all unaccompanied minors are vaccinated when they are
detained.”
