Britain has warned of the spread of measles in the country

“Further measles outbreaks will spread to other towns unless urgent action is taken to increase vaccination rates against measles, mumps and rubella,” the authority said. UKHSA emphasized that the most effective means is vaccination with the MMR vaccine, which gives lifelong immunity.

In December 2023, Romania’s Ministry of Health declared a measles epidemic after nearly two thousand cases were detected in 29 districts in the country. The ministry promised to make vaccination available to children between nine and eleven months of age. Vaccination is usually given at one year of age.
