 aIncidence rates (IR) are calculated per 100,000 population. Population data are projected population from Texas Demographic Center's Texas Population Projections Program, updated March 2022. 

bAge is calculated from date of birth to date of patient symptom onset. Other event dates are used when the symptom onset date is unknown. 

Note: Per Emerging and Acute Infectious Disease Unit Data Suppression policy, beginning with data published after September 2021, conditions with statewide case counts of 1-4 are not provided (-).

Note: Per Emerging and Acute Infectious Disease Unit Data Suppression policy, beginning with data published after June 2021, rates are not provided (-) when the Relative Standard Error exceeds 25% (n<16).
