The Texas health department reported 663 cases of measles in the state on Tuesday , an increase of 17 cases since April 25 .

Researchers have warned that the country is at a tipping point for the return of endemic measles.

U.S. pediatricians and infectious disease experts say the fight against rising measles cases nationwide is being hampered by a lack of forceful advocacy for vaccination.
