In Gaines County, most initial cases appear to have occurred within a “close-knit, under-vaccinated” Mennonite community, according to a state health department spokesperson. What’s more, Gaines County has a large homeschooled population that isn’t included in school district data—so the number of unvaccinated children is likely higher than official reports.
