A Miami high schooler came down with measles, a doctor said Tuesday. It's the first known case of measles in Florida.

A teenager in Miami-Dade has a confirmed cases of measles, the first such infection in Florida since a small outbreak of the disease in South Florida in 2024. The infection was reported on a Florida Department of Health database for Florida’s infectious and reportable diseases.

Amid an alarming outbreak in Texas, Florida has apparently joined the fray, according to a number of media sources.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends two doses of the measles vaccine when you are a child. But if you had your shots done 30 or 40 years ago, are you still safe?

Florida health officials have confirmed the state’s first measles case of the year, a high school student. The case is renewing concerns about declining vaccination rates, which doctors warn could put more children at risk.

Most of the measles cases reported so far this year are in Texas, where health officials are trying to clamp down on a growing outbreak that has sickened more than 150 people. Other states have also recorded measles cases though they trail far behind Texas, including New Mexico, California and New York City.

According to sources, Miami Palmetto Senior High School sent a warning to parents of the school after it was hit with a measles outbreak.
