Dallas

Epidemiological Brief

Dallas holds a LOW epidemic risk score (14.7), with pertussis and dengue as the primary weighted contributors. Pertussis incidence of 2.3 per 100,000 (shared with Houston from Texas state data) reflects active whooping cough transmission in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Dengue contributes an adjusted score of 21.2, reflecting Texas's imported case burden and local Aedes vector presence in the region. Influenza ILI% of 2.4% is low. Notably, measles data were not available for Dallas at this reporting cycle; this gap in coverage (Low tier, 56.2%) slightly limits confidence in the full risk picture. AT&T Stadium operators should work with Dallas County Health and Human Services to ensure pertussis and dengue awareness messaging is distributed to venue staff. Tdap booster outreach for unvaccinated children attending with families is recommended. Hantavirus is a watch signal for Dallas given the city's geographic profile; rodent exposure risk should be addressed in stadium maintenance protocols. Mpox activity (0.1 per 100,000) is low but warrants routine monitoring through the tournament.
