Alarming increase in cases throughout the country, Romania declares a measles

Romania's Ministry of Health has declared a national measles epidemic following an alarming increase in cases across the country.

"The Ministry declares a national epidemic to facilitate the vaccination of children between 9 and 11 months and older children who have not yet been vaccinated," said a statement from the Romanian Ministry of Health on December 5.

Among other things, it is added that there were close to 2,000 new cases in 29 of Romania's 41 counties.

Romania has faced a steady decline in the number of children vaccinated against measles, fueled by anti-vaccination campaigns on social media./REL
