More Texas children are getting vaccinated early against measles
More Texas parents are opting to vaccinate their babies early against measles, nearly a 4.5-fold increase so far this year compared to 2019, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. From January through April, 7,107 children between the ages of 6 months and 11 months were vaccinated for measles, which is typically reserved for infants about to travel internationally or living in a measles outbreak area. Otherwise, doctors usually administer the first dose of the vaccine when they turn 1 year old. For the same period in 2019, only 1,591 children between 6 months old and 11 months old were vaccinated for measles. Researchers and public health officials attribute the rise to more awareness and the availability of the earlier vaccination option in a region where there have already been two deaths attributed to measles. They say parents are more fearful now. The increase comes as the state battles a measles outbreak in West Texas, where 722 cases have been reported, most of them involving children. It is the largest outbreak since 2000.. 'It does show that parents really are scared, and that parents don't want to wait,' said Nina Masters, a senior applied research scientist at Truveta, a Washington-based company that is studying Texas' vaccination data. 'They don't want to wait 12 months to get their child vaccinated. They want to wait six months and one day, and they want to do it as soon as they can.' And, since state data only reflects vaccine information parents voluntarily give to them, the number of babies receiving the vaccine early is probably higher. Masters' company estimates an 11-fold increase in the number of early measles vaccine shots in Texas between 2019 and 2025, according to a study released this week. The Truveta study found that in March and April of this year, 20% of all first measles vaccine doses given to 2-year-olds and younger were in babies who were 6 months old to 11 months old. 'This is a really big jump,' Masters said. Increased vaccine uptake is among the reasons local health officials have seen the number of new measles cases drop in recent days. Last week, only nine new cases were reported, the lowest number over a 7-day period since February. Other factors contributing to the slowdown include natural immunity, quick identification of cases by providers and public health workers, and more infected people staying home because of better measles awareness, officials say. Texas vaccine data typically comes with caveats because it is anything but complete. Even Truveta's vaccine data doesn't reflect statewide totals since they only access medical records kept by five major health systems in Texas: AdvanetHealth in Central Texas; Baylor Scott & White in Central Texas and Dallas-Fort Worth area; Providence, which operates in El Paso Lubbock and Waco; and Memorial Hermann and CommonSpirit, both in Houston. Together, they represent 90 hospitals and associated ambulatory/outpatient clinics. Most states automatically record every immunization given unless the patient decides to opt out of the reporting. Of the 64 immunization registries operating in the United States, 43 have immunization records of all patients unless that patient specifically opts out. But Texas is in the minority. Patients, or their parents, if they are a minor, have their vaccination data automatically excluded from the state's immunization registry unless they specifically opt in. So it's not clear what percentage of Texans are included in the state's immunization data. 'You would have to know the total number of people vaccinated to produce the percentage of vaccinated people who have opted into the registry,' said Lara Anton, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of State Health Services. 'We don't know the total number of people who have been vaccinated.' The state's childhood vaccine schedule includes two measles-mumps-rubella shots by age six with the first administered once a child reaches their first birthday. Even if a child receives their shot early, doctors recommend they still follow the vaccine schedule and receive two more doses. Because children younger than one have less developed immune systems, the 'zero' or earlier dose is weaker than a regular vaccine and offers just enough protection to cover the child, but not enough to offer lifelong protection, said Katherine Wells, Lubbock's health director. Wells said if she had a 6-month-old child, she would have them vaccinated with an earlier dose. For the past few months, Texas health officials have asked parents to consider this earlier dose if they plan to travel or live in the outbreak area or plan to travel internationally. West Texas public health officials have posted flyers throughout the region and held press conferences and vaccination clinics to encourage more people to vaccinate against measles, which is the most effective way to prevent infection. Pediatricians in West Texas have been emailing and texting patients to let them know they can vaccinate children earlier than 12 months old. Lubbock, where 53 measles cases have been reported, is 75 miles from Gaines County, where the measles outbreak began in late January. Wells said Wednesday her department has distributed 500 more measles doses than they normally do this year, mostly to children. She said pediatricians in the area are responsible for about another 2,500 more than normal and private physicians have administered most of the early doses to babies. Measles, once considered eliminated from the United States, is highly contagious and can cause rash and flu-like symptoms but it has more serious complications like brain inflammation and pneumonia and can cause death. In Texas, two school-age girls have died from measles so far. 'I think this does really remind us and help normalize that even though we're in a climate of increased vaccine hesitancy and conversations about changing vaccine policies and vaccine access, the majority of parents still believe in vaccination and vaccinate their children,' Masters said. First round of TribFest speakers announced! Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Maureen Dowd; U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio; Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker; U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff, D-California; and U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas are taking the stage Nov. 13–15 in Austin. Get your tickets today!

Rory McIlroy ignored Bryson DeChambeau in Masters final round: ‘He didn't talk to me once'
Rory McIlroy ignored Bryson Dechambeau in Masters final round: 'He didn't talk to me once all day' AUGUSTA, Ga. — Bryson DeChambeau, who played in the final round with Masters winner Rory McIlroy, said he tried to converse with McIlroy all day and McIlroy refused to engage. 'He didn't talk to me once all day,'' said DeChambeau, who shot 75 and finished four shots out of the lead. Advertisement Asked if he tried to initiate conversation with McIlroy, DeChambeau said, 'He wouldn't talk to me. He was just like … just being focused, I guess. It's not me, though.' Bryson Dechambeau and Rory McIlroy shake hands on hole 18 of the Masters' final round. Getty Images DeChambeau said he 'wanted to cry'' for McIlroy after the Northern Ireland native hit his third shot into Rae's Creek to bring everyone back into the tournament he was controlling. 'As a professional, you just know to hit it in the middle of the green, and I can't believe he went for it, or must have just flared it,'' he said. 'I've hit bad shots in my career, too, and it happens. When you're trying to win a major championship, especially out here, Sunday of Augusta, the Masters, you have to just do it and get the job done and do it right. Advertisement 'There were times where it looked like he had full control and at times where it's like, 'What's going on?'' There was a thought that when DeChambeau drained his 48-foot birdie putt on 18 to close his third round on Saturday evening, it may have propelled him to a Masters victory on Sunday. Bryson Dechambeau had a rough final round at the Masters. Getty Images The birdie got DeChambeau to within two shots of McIlroy and, more importantly, it earned him a spot in the final pairing on Sunday. DeChambeau got off to a dream start when McIlroy took double bogey on the first hole after hitting his tee shot into the fairway bunker, leaving the two tied at 10-under par. He then took a one-shot lead with birdie on No. 2. So, a three-shot swing in two holes and DeChambeau appeared on his way … until he wasn't. Advertisement DeChambeau would slowly and agonizingly melt down from there. While he bogeyed No. 3, McIlroy birdied it and regained the lead that DeChambeau would never regain. DeChambeau bogeyed No. 4, McIlroy birded it and Mcllroy was leading by three shots. Along the way to shooting 75, DeChambeau hit approach shots into the water on No. 11 and again on No. 15. Rory McIlroy (left) and Bryson Dechambeau were grouped together for the final round of the Masters on Sunday. REUTERS It was a nightmare final round for the 2024 U.S. Open champion, who felt he was in a perfection position entering Sunday. When he was asked after his round on Saturday if he believes in momentum from one round to the next, he said, 'Yeah, for sure, I think there's a bit of it. Is it going to be the full reason why I play well or not my best tomorrow? No. But there is momentum.'' Advertisement That momentum seemed to disintegrate with those bogeys on Nos. 3 and 4. By the time DeChambeau double-bogeyed 11 after hitting his approach into the water, he was 7-under and trailing McIlroy by six shots. A bogey on 12 left him at 6-under and 4-over for the day and out of contention. Rory McIlroy puts on the Green Jacket after winning the Masters. Getty Images 'I didn't feel like I lost it, just my golf swing wasn't fully there,'' DeChambeau said. 'Boy, that third hole, the seventh hole, 17, there were just a couple key moments when I didn't have my swing and it cost me drastically. 'Will it happen in my career?'' DeChambeau went on. 'You never know, but I'm going to give it my best.'' Scottie Scheffler's run of Masters dominance and his chance to defend his title this week ended with him three shots out of the playoff between McIlroy and Justin Rose — won by McIlroy. Advertisement Scheffler, who was trying to join Jack Nicklaus as the only other player to win three Masters in four years, shot 69 on Sunday and finished 8-under for the tournament. Scottie Scheffler plays his shot from the fourth tee during the final round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Peter Casey-Imagn Images 'Overall, I wouldn't say I had my best stuff, but I fought really hard all week,' Scheffler said afterward. McIlroy was brought to tears when he was asked about caddie and childhood friend Harry Diamond, who's received a lot of criticism for holding McIlroy back since he's not a trained caddie. 'I've known Harry since I was 7 years old,' McIlroy said. 'I met him on the putting green at Hollywood Golf Club. We've had so many good times together. He's been like a big brother to me the whole way through my life. Advertisement 'To be able to share this with him after all the close calls that we've had, all the crap that he's had to take from people that don't know anything about the game, yeah, this one is just as much his as it is mine. He's a massive part of what I do, and I couldn't think of anyone better to share it with than him.' McIlroy made a total of 30 3s on his card this week but also some 7s. He became the first Masters champion in history to card four double bogeys. … McIlroy, a huge Manchester United fan, was asked if he's going to take the green jacket to Old Trafford, said. 'If it can inspire some better play, absolutely.' … In case you were wondering, McIlroy's green jacket size is a 38 regular. McIlroy had a powerful moment before his round Sunday. 'I got to my locker this morning and I opened it up, and there was a note in there from Angel Cabrera and just wishing me luck,' McIlroy said. 'Angel Cabrera was the player I played with on the final day in 2011. It was a nice touch and a little bit ironic at the same time. It's been 14 long years, but thankfully, I got the job done.' McIlroy famously blew a four-shot lead in that final round in 2011.

Rory McIlroy Sends Blunt Message: 'I Don't Care'
At the Truist Championship, Rory McIlroy looked every bit like a man on a mission. Still riding high from his Masters' win, the one that completed his career Grand Slam, McIlroy heads into the final PGA Tour stretch ranked third in the FedEx Cup standings. He's already locked in wins at The Players and Augusta this season, and now, with Charlotte's Quail Hollow around the corner, he seems poised to chase a sixth major. But behind that sharp game lies a sharper mindset. McIlroy didn't hold back in a press conference this Saturday, admitting that stepping away from PGA Tour politics has cleared his head. May 10, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Rory McIlroy looks on on the tenth hole during the third round of the Truist Championship golf tournament. Bill Streicher-Imagn Images 'I'm certainly not involved too much in the politics of everything,' he said. 'Being on the board of this tour, and even just talking about, like, you know, changes to the tour championship, and all that. I've no idea what's going on, and I, you know, I think at this point, I don't care. You know, I just, I want to play golf, and the reason I got into this game was to shoot scores, and try to play the best golf possible." It's clear that his renewed focus is paying off. McIlroy's post-Masters presence has been confident and relaxed. From his 53-foot bomb at Truist to his humor about media narratives. Advertisement "It was a great experience, but I'm happy with where I'm at right now," McIlroy seems lighter, unburdened. Fellow pros like Shane Lowry are already shifting the spotlight: 'Maybe you can talk about Jordan now. Or Scottie winning the grand slam.' But McIlroy's not done. Whether it's stepping back from boardrooms or sinking clutch putts, Rory's message is and clear, he just wants to play. And golf's better off for it.
