Measles outbreaks will continue to spread in Europe without a robust response, the World Health Organization warns as it urges countries in the region to vaccinate vulnerable populations
There were 34,300 cases recorded in the region in the first two months of 2019, according to a WHO update -- triple the 11,436 cases in same period last year. A total of 13 measles-related deaths were reported in Albania, Romania and Ukraine. "If outbreak response is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable individuals and potentially spread to additional countries within and beyond the region," reads the statement.
Across the United States, 764 cases of measles have been reported since January 1, according to the latest numbers shared by the CDC. In the US, New York City has said that those who live in neighborhoods where an outbreak began in October, and who had not received their vaccination or did not have evidence of immunity, could be fined $1,000. Since the beginning of that outbreak, 716 cases of measles have been reported in the state.
