SEMINOLE, Texas — Last Saturday, Zach Holbrooks walked into a mobile measles screening and vaccine clinic he had helped set up. As the executive director of the South Plains Public Health District, which includes Gaines County, he dropped by to check on how many shots the crew had given out so far that day. "Has it been busy today?" Holbrooks asked the two staffers in what's normally a livestock show barn on the outskirts of downtown Seminole. "Not so far. We've only given one," they replied.

This part of Texas is home to a large Mennonite population. And a lot of those folks shun vaccinations, making them vulnerable to the disease, which is highly contagious.
